50-bit RSA

Meh, long way to go until they can crack 256 or higher which is considered Quantum Resistant.

It's gonna be so sick once quantum computers start regularly breaking 256

I wonder if we will somehow make a better form of encryption or if we'll fundamentally restructure the practice of cybersecurity

Probably move the key bit size up to 512 or something
